Turnabout is fair play 🤷

The GOP is widely regarded as the party of homophobia. So it’s ironic that a Republican candidate would act this way.

The numbers on the clock have no effect on the amount of daylight.

So this is a font designed to minimize the effect of dyslexia. I wonder what a font designed to maximize dyslexia would look like. 🤔

So they can still target .00001 emissions, or net negative emissions. I suppose it’s fitting to get a nothing burger on nottheonion.

I though “accessibility” in video games meant, like, color blind mode and shit.

Has a Pokemon game ever mentioned Darwin?

They are exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to privileged information. Sounds hackery to me. It’s not their fault that Zuck made it easy.

Good guy Pyrrhus.

Just in case there any kilogenerians?

So it’s like the police, but secret. I think that has been done before 🤔

If you’ve never thought about shooting someone, then on what basis can you even say that shooting someone is wrong?

He said: “Growing up in Tottenham in the 1980s, my biggest fear was ending up in prison. That may sound irrational, but in truth it was the fate of so many young Black boys like me.

“You saw it happen slowly at first. People missed school, got into petty trouble, started hanging around with the wrong crowd. No one stepped in to pull them back. For us, going to jail didn’t feel shocking or distant. It felt almost inevitable.

I don’t understand why he thought going to jail was something that would ‘happen’ to him. As if he can’t just choose to not break laws.

Ok, now do sponges. Is it obvious sponges feel pain? How can you tell it’s obvious?

Why would you assume another organism can feel pain without any proof? Rationalism requires skepticism.

I think omission can be used for misleading/deception, but that it’s distinct from a lie.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!

The term “featherbedding” is usually used by management to describe behaviors and rules sought by workers.

The most rigorous evidence comes from a 2018 whole-population study tracking nearly half a million children born in Western Australia between 1980 and 2001. Of those, 1,870 developed schizophrenia, but not one of the 66 children with cortical blindness did.

1,870 / 500,000 = 0.374% of people in the general population

0.374% * 66 = 0.25

Not particularly rigorous.

Once you go back far enough, everyone is related. Everyone alive today with European ancestry is a direct descendant of Charlemagne, for example.
